"Perhaps you are right. The murderer stands from the perspective of a law enforcer, judging those who have sinned and giving them pain." Lu Wen said.
"But if everyone is a law enforcer, the order of this world will be chaotic." Wei Boyan saw that something was not right about Lu Wen's state and said quickly.
"I suddenly didn't want to hunt down the murderer."
"Xia Chuluo has so many advantages, how come you learned this biggest disadvantage?"
Wei Boyan also knew that Xia Chuluo liked to let go of people she thought were innocent.
Even if that person has a murder case on his hands.
Xia Chuluo learned from her father Xia Zheng.
When the slums were being cleared out in the summer, none of the worst offenders were spared, and they were all executed. Although some others had lives in hand, they were forced to do so, so they spared one life to improve the slums and bring order to the slums. Build the skeleton.
"There are two unresolved issues in this case."
Lu Wen turned to look at Wei Boyan.
“The first is where that money came from.”
"It has been more than ten years. It has been too long. Ordinary urban area surveillance can only be stored for one month. Only surveillance in special areas, such as around the parliament building, will be stored permanently."
It is impossible to rely on surveillance to know where the deceased was wandering.
Lu Wen thought of the young man from the next village that the aunt talked about.
Have to go take a look tomorrow.
"There is a second question. The murderer left clues at the lawyer's house last time, telling us where the next person to die will be. He should also leave clues this time. Have you found anything?"
"not yet."
It's almost eleven o'clock at night.
Even in rural areas where people sleep relatively late, lights are gradually turned off.
Most of the people from the Executive Bureau have already driven back overnight. There is nothing worth exploring here anymore, so just leave the relevant personnel behind.
"I found a book of poetry."
Someone posted a message in the public channel.
Wei Boyan read it out.
"Oh? Where did you find it? I have looked through several rooms before." Lu Wen asked.
"Put it under the TV and put it together with some children's books. You were mainly looking for the two bedrooms just now, and you may have ignored the most obvious living room."
"Right."
The two hurried back to the scene.
The inspecting executive handed them the book of poetry.
"A lot of Tagore's poetry collection has been torn out at the front. The first poem left is "Fireflies". The background of the birth of this poem is quite appropriate. At that time, the country was being colonized by another country."
Oppression, bullying, darkness.
But there is always a faint light in the darkness, guiding the way forward.
"What do you think the murderer means? Telling us to find a village with more fireflies?" Wei Boyan asked.
"No, it shouldn't be a village. The murderer's crime location is not fixed. Let me think about it carefully..."
It's hard to say what that firefly actually means.
It's June now and the temperatures are gradually rising.
Judging from past years, fireflies are about to start appearing in various places in the countryside and forests.
"Is there any related scenic spot in District 10, which is famous for its fireflies in the summer?"
"Let me check."
"You actually want to check this?"
"The director of the executive bureau is very busy, okay? In a region with more than 10 million people, there are a lot of things going on every day. A child's head is stuck in the fence and he has to call us. How can he have time to go to those so-called scenic spots?"
The almighty executive.
The main business is to fight awakened androids.
Additional services include solving crimes, unlocking doors, putting out fires, rescuing people, finding pets...
"You check first, and I will check again. The murderer left two clues last time, one was a collection of poems, and the other was orchids. There may be two clues this time..."
"Go and see. I'll tell you as soon as I have news."
There are still many people busy in the living room.
Collecting evidence is a tedious task.
Some murderers with strong psychological qualities like to fake the scene, or clean the scene directly.
Just like when Li Meng asked Lu Wen to clean up the blood stains.
In order to prevent the blood stains from being detected, Lu Wen specially washed it with bleach several times, but that method was only effective in the short term, and it would also be exposed after a long time.
Li Meng is very smart and has a high IQ among the androids Lu Wen has seen, but the original functional chip of the housekeeping type limits her performance.
"Were there any blood stains detected elsewhere?"
"Testing has not started yet. The site has suffered serious damage, and the progress is currently relatively slow."
Lu Wen walked around all the rooms.
If there really is a second clue...
If he is the murderer.
Where would he put the clues
Last time it was placed directly on the balcony, in an obvious place.
It shouldn't be too hard to find this time.
"The balcony is the first thing you can see when you walk in the door, just outside the living room, but this type of self-built bungalow in rural areas does not have a balcony."
Lu Wen returned to the gate.
"The first thing you see when you walk in the door..."
The innermost wall.
An alphabet hangs on the wall.
"Fireflies..."
Lu Wen groaned.
A thought suddenly began to burn in his confused mind like a fire in the dark night.
"You all stop what you are doing, I want to turn off the lights once." Lu Wen said loudly to everyone in the room.
"Why?"
"Just do as he said. After all, it was Boss Wei who invited me."
“…”
Everyone stopped what they were doing.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, when I should have rested long ago, I am indeed a bit tired from work at this time.
"Snapped!"
Lu Wen turned off the light in the living room.
Total darkness.
The light outside only allowed some people at the door to barely see each other's faces.
"What are you going to do next?" someone asked.
"You don't have to do anything, just leave it to me."
Lu Wen walked to the innermost wall of the living room.
He slowly raised his right hand.
The surface bionic material slowly retreats.
Purple light emanated from the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"There are words!"
"It's the alphabet!"
Everyone in the room is looking at this.
Twenty-six letters.
Under the purple light, four letters glowed faintly.
"E... C... M... O... "
Not like a word.
More like an abbreviation.
This should be the second clue left by the murderer.
"ECMO, which is the abbreviation of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, is a medical instrument. It is a very expensive thing that ordinary people cannot afford." Wei Boyan said standing at the door.
"What does the murderer mean by leaving this behind? Could it be that the next target is a doctor?"
Lu Wen slowly returned to the door and turned on the light with a click.
Can this profession of treating diseases and saving people also be related to sin
It seems that news does occasionally break out in this regard.
"How many ECMO units are there in District 10?"
"I'll check again."
"We need to check again..."
After a while, the results came out.
"9 units."
"so little?"
